Director's Statement
It seems to have passed the world by that this is the 80th anniversary of the Liberation of the Auschwitz Concentration Camp (27th January 1945) and this should not be allowed to happen. As we get further away from the terrible events of World War Two and the genocide that was the Holocaust, I believe that it is important to remember the attempted genocide of the Jewish race. Particularly, in relation to the ongoing events in Gaza and the Ukraine. Hopefully, my music video ‘Auschwitz’ does this in a gentle way that can be viewed by a family audience. It's chilling to realise that being part Jewish, I would have been destined, with the rest of my family, for Hitler's Death Camps. In memory of my great-great grandmother, Rachel Solomon. This video highlights the evils that can be done by the powerful against the unempowered. It warns of the political genocide that comes to the for when left unchecked. The Holocaust and all its evils must never be allowed to happen again - in any form.
